​I am a licensed clinical social worker with over fifteen years of practice in the field. I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology from Georgetown University in Washington DC and my Masters degree in Social Work from Smith College School for Social work in Northampton, MA.

 

I also hold a two-year certificate in psychodynamic theory and practice from The Sanville Institute, which further deepened my integration of psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, affect regulation theory, trauma-focused theories and current neuroscience into my practice.

 

Currently, I am an adjunct faculty member at the University of Southern California, Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, teaching advanced practice classes to masters level social work students. 

Additional trainings include: 

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy - ICEEFT externship

Level I Sensorimotor Psychotherapy 

Level I Trauma Resiliency Model

UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center training for mindfulness-based psychotherapy

Certified Sexual Assault Counselor in the state of California

I have experience working with individuals, groups, children and families within diverse communities and within an array of counseling settings. I have extensive experience working with survivors of serious traumas, including sexual assault, medical traumas and complex grief.

 

Today, my practice includes working with individuals and couples going through major life transitions or hardship; I also provide supervision and consultation and licensure support for MSW and MFT interns.
